CCDC is committed to producing and planning programs that serve cultural diversities in different communities, presenting project lineup, such as “Dancing LA,” “Chinese Cultural and Creative Competition,”, “East Meet West” concerts, etc. In 2024, CCDC launched its most recent cultural & culinary brand, Taste China, which focuses on Chinese food and culture experience in the U.S and serves high-end costumers in the country and beyond. In the Exhibition business, CCDC has accumulated extensive resources and experience through cooperation with domestical and international professional photographer. It created notable projects such as the Los Angeles Chinese Photographic Festival, U.S.-China News Photo Exhibition, and AAPI: Living Heritages. Other highlight exhibitions include the Nihao China, Welcome to Guangdong, and Taste China: A Journey with World-Class Photographers, which received applause by the community and media friends. CCDC operates different social media accounts across platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, RedNote, Instagram, Facebook, podcasts, and newsletters. Our contents are tailored to each platform’s user base, creating an integrated media ecosystem that emphasizes professionalism, accuracy, authority, and global communication of Chinese language contents. Our publications, Los Angeles Photographic Festival Photo Album, Through the Lens: An Asian American Experience in 2021, and Taste China: A Journey with World-Class Photographers 2024, are collected by local colleges and libraries. Streamlining cultural, educational, and commercial resources, CCDC launched its monthly culture & lifestyle magazine, Meihua, in 2023, aiming to become the leading Chinese-language publication in the Western U.S. and beyond with its rich contents, high-quality design, and state-of-art publication technology. Focusing on innovative creation and professional planning, CCDC is committed to constructing a diverse and inclusive platform to serve and support cultural exchange and community building. We believe the multi-dimensional communication between Chinese cultures and other heritages would tremendously benefit the cultural diversity and overall market forces in the country.

Rooted in the early 1970s when Korean immigrants first began establishing themselves in Orange County, the Korean American Federation of Orange County represents a thriving community built on shared purpose and collective effort. The organization was formally established in 1979 through a founding general meeting centered on community members committed to supporting one another through the challenges of immigration and cultural adaptation. What began as a Garden Grove-centered initiative has blossomed into a vibrant network extending across Fullerton and Irvine, reflecting the growth and stability achieved through decades of dedication by Korean-American families. The federation serves as a cultural bridge, hosting signature events like Korea-U.S. Friendship Night that foster meaningful connections between Korean-Americans and the broader Orange County community. Today, the organization stands as a representative voice for Korean-Americans in the region, working to develop the community, support individual rights, and strengthen relationships with other ethnic and cultural groups. By combining traditional values with contemporary community needs, the federation continues its mission to contribute to cultural exchange, promote sound community development, and ensure that Korean-Americans in Garden Grove, CA and throughout Orange County have access to the resources and connections they need to thrive.
